He was my wife's paper boy growing up in Alvin.

We've discussed govt projects like MK Ultra before. What's possible with technology that didn't exist then? The conspiracies are numerous. One being algorithms used to push directed content on social media users. They basically create a psychological profile based on what one is Google-ing. Then they can figure out who needs to be pushed. Remember the X Files?

I agree. If CFB does change this. Will UIL adopt these rules?

Focus on Character over color
Those guys in the story are great characters and would make a great book/movie too. Of course some things will be lost to history. But we must try to save the importance of mistakes made in our past. In life all mistakes are learning experiences. Even good people are great at making bad decisions. It's how we move forward that defines our character. As an individual or a society.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 1973.  I read about it a while back and the story is that a black man responded to an "apartment for rent" sign.  He was told by on-site management that the unit had already been rented, then a white woman inquired about the apartment and was shown the unit as still being available.  Upon pressure the on site manager claimed that he was just following orders, but that was something that the Trumps denied at the time.  The case was settled with the Trumps agreeing to publish ads welcoming black applicants and to also Familiarize themselves with the Fair Housing Act.... the Trumps didn't admit guilt either.  
 
It's important to remember a couple of important facts.... first, the Fair Housing Act (1968) had only been in effect for four years when the incident occurred... an incident in which Trump was not accused of having any direct involvement, and for which he denied any knowledge of.   Imagine that in 1972, somebody walked into a Hilton Hotel and was denied service, presumably because of their race... then in 2023 people are pointing at the 1972 episode as "proof" that Paris Hilton is a racist, even though most of us are pretty sure she bangs black dudes.  
 

And as a perfect example I found this today. I've lived here my whole life. And never heard this story before.

Do you actually think the same books are used today? Has anyone here suggested any of that?
Those who fail to learn from history...

And ALL history needs to taught, good or bad.  You can’t make certain parts go away by not teaching it. 

I agree one month is not enough. "We" should be one and not divided. Human/American history is taught in every school. All the way up thru higher education.

The Kountze softball Twitter had 3-1. Nonetheless good win for Kountze

No longer active but Roy Harper won two state titles at Burkeville. He did this when there were very few black coaches. I think he was inducted in the black coaches hall of fame. 

Yes I see that now. Although he's at the top of the other list of current coaches with multiple titles.
